It’s an Arcade Fire kind of fall

When the end of September rolls around, I’ll be longing for the days I could go to a concert any and every night of the week. The Arcade Fire, The White Stripes, The Flaming Lips, oh my!

Yes, you heard correctly. The Arcade Fire will finally be back in Seattle on Sept. 24, which, unfortunately, is a Monday. Eek! Somebody please go, then tell me what I’m missing. Actually, I’d rather not know. Seeing them at Sasquatch! and the Paramount could have been the pinnacle of 2005 for me, and I wouldn’t ruin that for anything.

Tickets cost $39.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, but keep an eye on your inbox for presale alerts from Ticketmaster. The show is at the Bank of America Arena on the UW campus.

Meanwhile, The White Stripes, playing Sept. 26 and 27 at the Paramount, is sold out, and tickets likely will sell out soon for The Flaming Lips show, also at the Paramount, Sept. 10. They’re $39 at Ticketmaster. Welcome to a hard-rockin’ fall!
